Kelly Lake is such a beautiful spot and more secluded from the busyness of campgrounds surrounding Glacier

I recently travelled from Calgary, AB to camp at this beautiful campground. The campsites were large and private, the lake was beautiful, bathrooms were clean, and the best part of the stay were the human interactions with people who ran the campground. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back next summer! Thank you for the amazing experience!!

The water in site 33, which is awkward to go to as it is in the site, had very poor water pressure. All other taps were great. Camp hosts were great.
Have tried to book the group site for years with no luck. Hopefully next year.

The camp hosts came to chat to us and offered activities which were free to our kids. They gave us advice and even helped us find huckleberries!
Toilets were clean- pit toilets but very clean and maintained well. The lake was stunning and we loved swimming in it.
The road to the lake is rough gravel- but it was ok to drive once you had done it once. Miles from anywhere but probably nicest campsite we stayed at- mostly because of the host kidness, the lake and the scenery! Would 100% book with no hesitation!!! Dare I say it- maybe nicer than glacier campsites!

Please don't go here...I want it all to myself. It is quiet and beautiful.

Super large lot with lake access and a massive firepit. Had a wonderful time! Make sure you close the gates when your whole party is there to avoid people coming through. We also paddled over to the cliffs left of the campsite and jumped off of them, it was a blast!

Very well run.
Mosquitos were active. Just be prepared.
